Quiet relaxing property
Quiet and peaceful yet so close to many wineries and restaurants including one on site Jimmy Joans which we can highly recommend. We love the cottage and outdoor areas. Perfect to come home to after visiting wineries. Would highly recommend.

A tucked away private getaway spot
A perfect getaway for us as two friends. Cosy fire, great open layout with every convenience you could wish for a private country getaway. Fabulous view. Booked for the weekend to attend a function at Jimmy Joans. Was a perfect stay. Thank you. We will be back.

Cute Cottage
Wilderness Cottage provides a lovely stay from which to explore the local wineries. We had a quick dip in the pool and enjoyed our BBQ dinner outside, watching some kangaroos hop in. We missed the entrance to the property. The street number wasn't that obvious, but the driveway is part of the carpark entrance to a restaurant called Jimmy Joans - which is easy to see. Also, one little surprise - no internet. I happened to bring a dongle so all was OK. Lovely quiet escape! We would recommend.

Happy with our stay except for a few minor issues
The cabin was very clean and tidy. Easy access and good location in Lovedale. Good value. Happy with our stay. A few minor details that the owners could look at. Dinning chairs were steel which were very cold and hard to sit on. Great for summer but not so for the colder months. Wood was not prepared well for the fireplace so I did not use it. RCAC worked very well though. Would suggest stainless steel cooking pans as our eggs (which were nicely supplied by the owner) stuck really bad to the worn out non stick fry pan. No bench space in the kitchen. Would suggest the microwave could be placed in another position. A few birds messed on our car due to the position of the tree where the car parking is located.

Delightful accommodation, feels like home.
Our time at Wilderness Cottage was delightful. Kim has set up the cottage to feel warm, cosy and inviting. For us it felt like home. The cottage and its surrounds were beautiful and so peaceful. Kim and Mick were kind and helpful, they provided everything we needed. They facilitated our stay after needing to postpone for many months and were very patient. We are so thankful for the gorgeous accommodation they provided. Will be recommending to friends and family and would love to come again.

Perfect Long Weekend
My husband and I stayed at Kim's gorgeous little cottage for three nights to celebrate my husband's birthday. The cottage was immaculate and very cosy. Close to all the wineries and restaurants. The fresh eggs and fire wood was a beautiful touch. The grounds were also amazing - perfect place for a morning coffee. Thanks Kim, for an amazing stay! We didn't want to leave and will definitely be back!

What a find !
We had a great stay. Couldn't fault anything - it was the perfect cottage and location for what we needed. So impressed with all the little things that had been thought of that can be frustrating when not included - especially in the kitchen. Loved the fresh eggs and milk in the fridge. Will definitely be returning in the future. Pete

Gorgeous family or couples hideaway
This property, nestled away from the main road, comes completely prepared for a family or group of friends to use as a holiday away, or a base to explore the wineries. Only to bring back some bottles, enjoy the pool and bbq on the balcony watching the sunset and sipping on the local wine. Super friendly hosts make sure the property is clean and very welcoming. With the decor, friendliness of the hosts, location, and peaceful environment made this holiday house and holiday home.
